Indebted (2020)
Cute
So many haters in reviews, wow. It's a cute sitcom in the tradition of the classics. I feel like had the Nanny come out today, people would take it just as badly.
Love Fran and the dad.
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Bad show, serious matters
As much as I wanted to like the show, it became too soon too clear that it wasn't going to happen. But just like many others I had to finish it, because it does one thing rather well — it intrigues the viewers. This is where the pros end, and too many cons begin. The pace of the show is painfully slow and it certainly doesn't help how repetitive it is in its limited ways of introducing the character behind the tapes and all the bad-bad things that just kept happening to her. Numerous times we have to watch Clay's dull inexpressive face in a state of complete prostration, before we are transferred to another flashback. For some reason, the biggest casting failures had to be the two people the show mainly revolves around: Hannah and Clay. For lack of a better word, acting skills of these two young actors is $hit. And for some even more aggravating reason, their characters are actually the ones that are unfolded and studied least of all. However, if Clay's portrayal can afford to be neglected, Hannah's simply couldn't. The only things I've learnt about Hannah is that she's an attention-seeking, clingy, needy, overly sensitive drama queen, whose judge of character is pure $hit. The only really bad thing that happened to her was sexual assault. And at the risk of being accused of victim-shaming, I've got to say that stripping down to your underwear in the rapist's house doesn't seem like a very reasonable thing to do. Hell, even going to rapist's party alone doesn't seem that smart. But let's jut call it one of the numerous loopholes of the show. One of the others, for instance, is how Hannah is only able to continuously scream and attack people, who don't harm her (Zach and Clay), but when she and her friend are being raped she shuts down and does absolutely nothing. Well, OK, seems legit... And as long as we are discussing Jessica's rape... For some reason Hannah does come to her rescue once, like a true hero she takes drunk Jessica home from the dance and away from awful and terrible Justin, but when someone's raping her unconscious body, she's like "nah, I'll just sit this one out". None of Hannah's actions make any sense whatsoever. All her traumas are far- fetched. I realise that some kids may be sensitive, but if a kid can't go through mild high-school drama, there's not much she can handle in her life. As we are led to believe all her problems started with a rumour. I'm sorry, but I simply am not convinced that it could've had this devastatingly heavy and extended impact on her reputation. This Justin story sounds like something that people would forget as soon as someone else made up something else, which I'm sure happened like twenty times a day. Nobody's saying that bullying is normal, but nothing THAT bad happened to her. Hannah's life COULD have been made insufferable by her peers, but it wasn't. All we see is some mild stuff like jocks calling her easy and acting frustrated once they find out she's not. Oh, oh! How could I forget about the list! How traumatic it must be that OF ALL PEOPLE teenage hormonal guys make up a list of hot girls and OH MY GOD call her doable and attractive. It would be easier if the creators made a series of short films on these social problems they wanted to raise awareness of, instead of trying to force everything into one show. I could go on and on about how little sense it all makes. I will do one more, actually. Everyone in that school is an asshole. But there is one really nice guy. Yeah, he gets killed in the car crash. This is such a transparent cheap move, that I'm going to just leave it without any further commenting. There are so many more things to say about this show, but it's not really worth my time. I rated it three stars only because there are some rather talented young actors there: Miles Heizer (Alex), Alisha Boe (Jessica) and Brandon Flynn (Justin Foley). Each got a star from me.
